2 OUTSULATION THE FACTS: Testing As the pioneer and acknowledged leader of the EIFS industry, Dryvit Systems Canada has always considered stringent testing of key importance to quality performance. Outsulation has been subjected to testing well beyond code minimums at national testing laboratories as well as at Dryvit s own research, technology and manufacturing facilities unparalleled in the industry. The data provided on the following pages will convince you that Dryvit demonstrates a full commitment to excellence in both product and performance. Such a commitment offers extraordinary peace of mind to the architect and developer specifying Outsulation. And only Dryvit Outsulation can show over 30 years of proven application results in North America over 350,000 buildings, both new and retrofit construction. Dryvit products are designed to minimize upkeep. However, as with all building products, normal maintenance and cleaning are required.

4 Outsulation THE FACTS: Fire Testing TEST TUNNEL TEST ASTM E84 FIRE ENDURANCE TEST ULC-S DIVERSIFIED FIRE TEST UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA MODIFIED ASTM E108 STANDARD FIRE EXPOSURE TEST ASTM E119 DESCRIPTION The Outsulation coating system has been tested by National Laboratory in accordance with UL-723 (ASTM E84) test procedure. The coating system demonstrated resistance to flame spread, achieving a flame spread of less than 25*. Further, the expanded polystyrene insulation used within the Outsulation System has a flame spread rating of less than 25* when tested in accordance with the ASTM E84 procedure. The Dryvit Outsulation exterior wall insulation and finish system remained in place during a 15-minute fire exposure test conducted in conformance with ULC-S (ASTM E119) Standard Methods of Fire Endurance Tests of Building Construction and Materials. A series of fire tests involving a modified ASTM E108 procedure have been conducted at the University of California. The tests were conducted on Outsulation panels having expanded polystyrene insulation ranging from 2 ½ to 8 thickness. The tests were conducted to simulate the exposure delivered to the exterior face of a building resulting from a fully developed room fire, which vents to the outside through a window. In Paragraph 7.4 of the Analysis and Conclusions of the report, it is noted, there was very little evidence to indicate that any significant burning or flaming had occurred beneath the protective coating. Subsequent to test, Dr. Robert Brady Williamson offered additional observations in a letter dated September 16, The letter indicates smoke production during tests of Outsulation panels was limited. The Dryvit Outsulation System has been evaluated by ASTM E119 testing with one-hour and two-hour wall assemblies. The test exposes a test specimen to a standard fire exposure controlled to achieve specified temperatures throughout a specified time period and measures its response to the exposure in terms of the transmission of temperature and hot gases through the assembly. The fire resistance rating, as determined by ASTM E119 of listed one-hour and two-hour wall assemblies, was not reduced by the addition of the Dryvit exterior wall insulation system. The wall assembly was tested with both the exterior and interior face exposed to the fire. 4

5 Outsulation THE FACTS: Fire Testing TEST UBC 26-4 (FORMERLY UBC 17-6) FULL SCALE MULTI-STORY FIRE TEST 1250 POUND CRIB UBC 26-9 (NFPA 285) INTERMEDIATE SCALE MULTI-STORY FIRE TEST NFPA 268 RADIANT HEAT IGNITION CONCLUSION DESCRIPTION The flammability characteristics of Outsulation panels using 4 of expanded polystyrene were evaluated in a full-scale fire test involving a two-story structure. The test was conducted at an independent research laboratory in San Antonio, Texas. The panels were subjected to a fire exposure from a 1250-pound crib, which was designed to simulate the ASTM E119 standard time/temperature curve for a minimum of 30 minutes. The crib was allowed to burn freely for approximately 40 minutes. Temperatures exceeded 900 F on the face of the panels for the majority of the test. In spite of this severe fire exposure, the Outsulation panels demonstrated significant resistance to flame propagation. Test conclusions show that there was no flame penetration into the second floor area during the test. There was no significant flame propagation over the exterior face of the panels. There was no lateral spread of flame from the compartment of fire origin to adjacent spaces during the test exposure. The intermediate multi-story fire test is a smaller scale version of the UBC 26-4 (17-6) that is performed in controlled environmental conditions with gas burners positioned on the interior and exterior of the test specimen. The results of the intermediate scale fire test mirror those of the UBC 26-4 (17-6). This test is designed to simulate a thermal radiation exposure to an exterior wall from a radiant panel heated to 1600 F providing an exposure of 125 KW/m 2 heat flux to the surface of the panel. The panel is considered as passing if no surface flaming is observed for longer than 5 seconds. Outsulation has been fire tested in configurations reflecting an end-use condition. Both fire tests and actual fire experience confirm Outsulation will not affect building fire safety. The possibility of vertical flame spread has been carefully studied. Available data shows Outsulation using up to 8 of EPS will not spread flame. The use of Outsulation outside the building automatically minimizes concerns regarding smoke generation. Subjective analysis of smoke generated by tests conducted indoors have been made. Smoke production is limited. 5
